Passengers and cargo ride an elevator (called a climber) to the statite, where they can enjoy a meal, lounge around in micro-g, rent laboratory space, transfer to a docked spaceship, sabotage the solar power plant (if you're of the villainous mentality), or just enjoy the view! The whole system is run jointly by the Seattle Port Authority and Seattle City Light. <br> Although the instilation of the Space Tether in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Northwest Pacific Northwest] was extreme (due to the need a more active drive system than a solar sail would provide to compensate for rotation, unlike ones positioned at the poles) the investment groups believed in the program and funded the project to great return. <br> Laws of physics would require the tether heading off no less than a 47 degree angle due south, however to maintain the clean skyline citizens of the Emerald City have grown accustomed to, the electric currents running through the tether have been engineered to use electro-dynamically to bind the structure to Earth's magnetic field. There's also plenty of solar energy to power ion thrusters to provide backup to the tether. This effect does unfortunately create a field following the tube of electro-dynamic energy dangerous to mechanical interferance and persons without proper insulation gear. <br> The brainchild of [[Randal Cross]], of [[Cross World Technologies]], the Space Elevator that is tethered to the Seattle Space Needle is truly an elevator to space. Rising through the atmosphere into space almost 100 miles! The high-speed elevator can rise all the way in just under two hours. Most of the old Seattle Center was destroyed to create [[the ‘Anchor Complex’]], but it has been built up around the old Space Needle.
